Alpkit's Big Living Room Campout

We haven’t all got the luxury of a back garden or local trails to explore on our doorstep. Some of us live in flats, and most of us reside in cities where green space is at a premium. So, we’ve decided to team up with Alpkit to bring the outside in!

The concept is simple: set up a tent in your living room (or a tarp and bivvy bag if you’re short on space); get a brew on the go (camping mugs optional but strongly encouraged); and fire up the screen device of your choosing to watch some awe-inspiring adventure films.

We have put together a free selection of films for the occasion - family friendly so the kids can join in too! We’d love to see your best Living Room Campout setups, so don’t forget to share your pictures with us via social media using the #BigLivingRoomCampout tag.

This is a story about an aid station, about the people that make it happen.

One of the USA's most famous races, Hardrock 100, seen through the eyes of the dedicated, hard-working and enthusiastic marshals at the most remote checkpoint. Great to have a different angle on this much-covered race.

In 2014, Kilian Jornet won the Hard Rock 100 mile run through the San Juan’s of Colorado. Along the way he stopped at Kroger’s Canteen – an aid station perched on a tiny ledge, 13,100ft above sea level. This is a story about that aid station, about the people that make it happen, and about the spirit one can only find at the Hard Rock 100.

The first time Frank Sanders saw Devil’s Tower was in the sudden brilliance of a lightning strike. It sent a wave of anxiety through him, but the next day he climbed The Tower. 43 years later, he’s repeated that act more than 2,000 times and learned a thing or two about about going up and not growing old.

Freestyle skateboard star Kilian Martin is teleported from snow drifts to mountain caves, to the streets of Brooklyn, across the Bonneville Salt Flats, into a deserted greenhouse and through the Moab desert back to the snow-filled mountains where he began. Rolling Stone called it, ‘The most beautiful skateboarding film you'll ever see’.

The important places, we all have them. They’re the places that awed us, that inspired us, that fed our souls.

Father and Son trip down the Grand Canyon beautifully shot beautiful documented.

Ed Birch Director of Salt-Street productions

The important places, we all have them. They’re the places that awed us, that inspired us, that fed our souls. Sometimes we wander far from them, but the memories remain. Sometimes we have to return there to feel whole again. In this film, a father and son return to one of the father’s important places, the Grand Canyon. There they discover more about each other—and the bond they share. This is an important film, about the important places.

Starring downhill longboard rider Ishtar Backlund gliding down the epic mountains of Norway with a magical soundtrack from Swedish rock band Tussilago, the film is a glimpse into the profound feeling of believing in yourself and living one’s greatest dreams.

Ocean Gravity is a short film that rewrites the rules of the underwater world. Quadruple world record breaking freediver Guillaume Nery takes us into the world of weightlessness. Like in space, there’s no up or down or right way round. The ocean becomes the cosmos, man a satellite and the sea floor an unknown planet. Filmed without using special effects.

Woman's speed record USA, Yosemite. see the girls take it on will they do it or not?

Ed Birch Director of Salt-Street productions

Some records are just meant to be broken. Mayan Smith-Gobat and Libby Sauter just knew that the women`s speed record for the ascent of The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, California was their`s for the taking. Crushing the old record and standing atop El Capitan at 5 hours 02 minutes after their first test run and 4 hours 43 minutes after the final attempt just a few days later, Mayan and Libby put their names in the books of the infamous route in the Yosemite National Park, California

I have to declare an interest here too - this film in particular is strong for me. Stunning locations, creating great adventures. Moments of joy, moments of play and moments of wonder.

Amazing trip through Scotland on a mountain bike. This will make you want to jump on your saddle and go exploring and find a hiden spot for yourself.

Ed Birch Director of Salt-Street productions

An imaginary journey round Scotland, linking together wild bothies and landscapes. Apart from one day, when he was joined by a friend, microadventurer Alastair Humphreys made this trip by himself, filming it all himself. (He used a car to do some of the grunt work between some of the locations as they are spread all over Scotland).
